ClubSub Dunners ol' banger

[MINTGTB]

exciting!!

[Nick_96_RSB]

if i were in dunners id be keen as, i love old toymotas my first car was a 2 shaded primered starlet 84 rear wheel banger! cost me 350 bucks and lasted about a year before it lunched itself on my way to work one day & yeah they went front wheel from late 84 i believe with the square shaped things, some of the 1990 models even have Full time 4WD & a turbo

this is what my little starlet was like, except more s*** & patchy lolz was a good bit of fun to learn in living in the wops of fielding, had a mate who had one (3 door) with a flamethrower rigged up on the exhaust took it out to another mates farm a few times and threw it round on some of the gravel roads, floor second, tap the clutch & your away sideways ;D and a guy i worked with also had an 84 starlet but full on rally car was pretty churr!

good luck with the communal Kaner!

I just had a thought, I'm replacing the turbo on my Legacy with a TD05H that means I'll have a spare turbo... see where I'm going with this? ;D

yep sounds mean 8)

Any chance of organising something for this between 11-17th November? It'll be my last week in town, and I'm keen to drive one last time in En Zud.

I'll speak to the council this week and if someone with farming contacts can keep and ear and some feelers out to see if we can get a paddock as well.

Sounds good!

I know where there's a mint condition V8 out of a Holden statesman that you could probably buy off the insurance company... (hint: the car got wasted at the intersection of Great King and SH1)

Here are some pics after my bro-in-law and I gutted it this afternoon: http://s325.photobucket.com/albums/k375/lord_zod_0z/ClubSub%20Dunedin%20Track%20Car/

[Guest]

Aww yeah! Keen as!

Why do you still have the door trims on though?

[Andrew NR]

The weight reduction isn't 100% complete. I eventually want to remove the dash and the passenger's seat too.

[Jimbob]

put a 4age in it

[Guest]

Keep the passengers seat for a while I reckon.

Ultimately in time it'd probably be worth picking up some 2nd hand race-y seats, as those old things would weigh half a tonne. Obviously just keep transferring them between cars once we break/flip this.

i don't think you'll be allowed to enter any scrutineered events without the door protection

and i think some of you will be surprised how quick this could be around a paddock

[Andrew NR]

I was doing some reading and the turbo model of this car WITHOUT the weight reduction was rated at a little over 100kw per tonne!! That's heaps good power to weight ratio!

[Guest]

In that case, when are we taking it for a thrash? ;D

[Andrew NR]

Well MintGTB IS coming around this afternoon/evening and we are going to take it up to Flagstaff. Everyone is free to come along too.

[Andrew NR]

PM me if you're keen for a hoon in the banger this evening.

[MINTGTB]

mate, Ill come round soon.. what time suits??
